Instructions
Preparation | |
|---|---|
| 1. | Mix together mayonnaise, sugar, white wine vinegar, and hot pepper sauce in a medium bowl until smooth. Allow the mixture to rest to let the sugar dissolve into the dressing. |
| 2. | In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Once done, drain the bacon on paper towels and let it cool for about 10 minutes before crumbling it. |
| 3. | In a large serving bowl, combine the crumbled bacon with fresh broccoli florets, fruit and nut trail mix, and diced red onion. Add the prepared dressing and toss thoroughly to coat all ingredients. |
